Аннотация

Abstract: This article explores cognitive toponymy, examining how humans
perceive, process, and utilize geographical names. Drawing on insights from
linguistics, geography, psychology, and anthropology, it reveals place names as
complex cognitive artifacts, intertwined with language, memory, and cultural identity.
The article discusses the encoding of toponyms in memory, their processing in the
brain, and their role in spatial orientation and cultural interpretation. It also highlights
the educational and practical implications of cognitive toponymy in geography, history,
urban planning, and navigation systems. Overall, this multidisciplinary exploration
advances our understanding of the intricate interplay between language, cognition, and
geography.
